When we pray, we should pray for everyone, because everyone will need prayer at a certain point in time. Just as those who experienced major natural earth disasters in Japan weren't expecting for what took place to happen, people all around the world experience devastating life disasters as well daily. So don't be scared to pray.

Open up and just talk to God, even though you may feel uncomfortable this is only a temporary thing, and eventually when you pray on a regular basis, it will come easier to you, and the right words and thoughts will just roll off of your tongue. When you pray, pray sincerely, and with honor and respect to God, pray with a boldness, and don't just pray for the people you know and love, pray for those who you may not trust, or for those you may not get along with, and for those who you may not know that need it. Pray because God listens, and pray because God cares!
